Grosh Family Blog - When it rains it pours...
We called a plumber to fix a problem in our master bath. The hot water in the shower is leaking baddly. Not only is this using alot of water but since it is hot water our electric bill will be higher also. On top of that were getting mildew on the walls of all three bedrooms from the steam. So we closed off the master bathroom and turned on the vent fan to help with the problem while we wait for a plumber.
A seperate issue is our electric. for the past couple weeks our electric has been browning out. We thought this was due to the neighboorhood wide upgrades to the underground electric cables. They had to dig up a good portion of our yard to install the new cables. Then last night around 8 o'clock all our electric started to act weird. lights were only on at half brightness... ceiling fans were spinning much slower... the washer would not work at all and when you tried to turn it on were would lose all electricty in about half the house. We called City of Tallahassee electric and they came out and said that we only had 60 volts on one phase of the leg to the street (the underground cable that connects the street to the power meter). I asked if this was damaged by the neighborhood upgrades.. and was told that they could put in a request to research it but we would not have power untill they decided if it was the citys fault. Otherwise, if we wanted power this week, we would have to call (and PAY) and electriction to fix the very expensive problem.
It is nice having an emergency fund, but it is still painfull to have to give it up.
